Marc's cooking journey from frozen to fresh

Marc and Annie have been working together since March when he identified that Marc wanted to improve his cooking skills and that he’d like to practice cooking meals at home. So with the help of Ability Options including Coordination of Supports, Speech Pathology, Physio, and Annie O’Neill as Occupational Therapist the Therapy Services team have been supporting Marc with his goal. The team has supported Marc in creating a visual cookbook along with developing social skills and an exercise program.  
 
Together with Marc’s Support Workers, Annie has been working to build Marc’s capacity to prepare meals more independently. So far, they’ve made spaghetti Bolognese, nachos, and chicken and most recently making a chicken and vegetable stir fry with the aid of his one-handed chopping board to slice vegetables.

Marc used to rely on freezer meals for his dinners and it’s great to see his freezer now- it’s all meals that he’s prepped and frozen! It’s a healthier and cheaper alternative to buying freezer meals, and he has a sense of accomplishment and pride in being able to prepare meals more independently.

Well done Marc!
